as far as we know that has absolutely nothing to do with Ukraine.

This Ukraine transcript could also be doctored.

Since FF45 is releasing it, I am immediately suspicious.

Trump can't "clear this up" with a single transcript (although FOX will no doubt be happy to run with it). The capitulation by the White House means they know they're in deep sh*t. (and I'm wondering if some Rs are whispering things in their ears?)

Nothing but FULL TRANSPARENCY is appropriate. No whistleblower report means impeachment should continue to be pursued.

I have no reason whatsoever to believe he would not alter the transcript.

“House Judiciary Committee transcripts of some of President Nixon’s Watergate tape recordings differ extensively, and in many cases significantly, from the edited transcripts made public by the White House.”

Tue Sep 24, 2019, 02:54 PM

He won't.

If he does, it will a) not be complete and b) not be fully redacted.

The full recording must be released, and someone - who, I don't know - must confirm that it was the complete call.

Then, someone - the whistleblower? - must a) confirm that this is the call everyone seems to be talking about and b) identify any and all other such calls - to anyone - that prompted his whistleblower action.

Then, maybe, just maybe, we'll begin to get at the truth.

Of course, this is only the beginning.

Then we have Giuliani, and then Pompeo and Barr, all of whom have been implicated in the actions taken and in the coverup.

The whistleblower complaint is what is needed. THAT will show the pattern of behavior that a single transcript will not. Also, the quid pro quo was most likely not made in that particular call that tRump says he will release.

He's always trying to out-Nixon, Nixon, so he's following the roadmap that was laid out.

He already has his Roy Cohen (Giuliani); has defied the legal demands of congressional investigators; and engaged in lies, deceit, and cover-up on a scale that would make even Nixon blush and say, "Whoa! Hold it just a minute, there, Spanky, and back off a bit! This is going way too far."
